00:00:39.600 Now, let's get into it.

00:00:40.840 awarding don cherry the order of canada shouldn't be up for debate but thanks to the loony left

00:01:02.140 it's up for debate it's tuesday march 17th 2026 i'm david menzies and this is the ezra levent show

00:01:11.800 shame on you you censorious bug

00:01:18.080 well folks last month it was announced that the beloved don cherry will receive

00:01:31.580 the Order of Ontario. This honour is long overdue, and very quickly the discussion emerged regarding

00:01:39.840 if Don Cherry should also receive the Order of Canada. Too bad there's not a referendum for such

00:01:48.120 an award. Cherry would be affirmed in a landslide, but in the aftermath of the announcement, what I

00:01:56.140 found fascinating was the chatter coming forth from those who support cherry in other words

00:02:02.860 normal decent people and those who do not support cherry in other words deranged leftists our friend

00:02:12.580 conservative mp andrew lawn was first over the boards to support cherry receiving the order of

00:02:18.200 canada lawton wrote quote for decades don cherry has celebrated hockey honored veterans and said

00:02:26.060 what millions think without apology end quote. Conservative leader Pierre Polyev stated quote

00:02:34.280 Don Cherry embodies what it means to be a proud Canadian end quote and Alberta Premier Daniel

00:02:41.580 Smith joined the pro cherry chorus stating that Don Cherry getting the order of Canada

00:02:48.320 quote shouldn't even be up for debate end quote but that's the thing it is up for debate and one

00:02:55.940 of the most unhinged rants against grapes comes via the daily fish rap known as the toronto red

00:03:03.340 star headlined why don cherry doesn't belong in the order of canada no matter what conservatives

00:03:11.480 say this hit piece was authored by bruce arthur who dat you ask arthur is a wannabe never was

00:03:20.420 sports writer who still suffers from a severe case of trump derangement syndrome put another

00:03:27.080 way everybody knows the always entertaining don cherry nobody knows the brutally boring bruce

00:03:34.620 arthur anyway arthur begins his column as follows quote if you're of a certain age you remember don

00:03:42.240 Sherry end quote a certain age what the HG double hockey sticks is Arthur smoking Sherry was only

00:03:50.960 canceled some six years ago not during World War II and Sherry's legacy will live on forever thanks

00:03:58.400 to his rock'em sock'em videos as well post coach's corner Sherry went on to make more than 300

00:04:05.040 podcasts with his son Tim okay in fairness to Arthur maybe there's a two-year-old out there

00:04:11.660 who is you know not of certain age to remember Don Cherry the rest of us do because well Don

00:04:18.540 Cherry is unforgettable anyway Arthur goes on to make the case that this beloved hockey commentator

00:04:26.180 is not worthy of the order of Canada in that regard his column is akin to the written version

00:04:32.800 of a Yoko Ono concert you know it starts off badly and then proceeds to get horrid

00:04:39.720 quote but beyond the wisdom of turning canada's official honor system into a political culture

00:04:46.780 war which in retrospect was probably inevitable cherry wasn't just his suits his version of

00:04:54.820 patriotism or even his version of hockey cherry complained about foreigners stealing canadian

00:05:02.260 jobs in 1990 end quote well you know folks in this regard cherry's only sin was that he was

00:05:09.160 way ahead of the curve. Case in point, Canada's largest coffee chain has earned the dubious

00:05:15.440 nickname of Singh Hortons. And consider that National Post expose last year headlined

00:05:21.840 the death of the summer job. This is the end result of irresponsible mass migration 0.91

00:05:29.320 thanks to the Trudeau-Carney liberals. Arthur goes on to slam cherry for the following crimes

00:05:36.680 against humanity, criticizing mogul skier Jean-Luc Broussard, Canada's flag bearer at the 1998 0.62

00:05:44.340 Olympics because Cherry had never heard of him, calling Quebecers a bunch of whiners, advocating 0.99

00:05:50.600 for Canada's involvement in the invasion of Iraq in 2003, calling former enforcers Chris Nylan, 0.94

00:05:58.700 Stu Grimson, and Jim Thompson pukes and turncoats and hypocrites after they voiced opposition to

00:06:05.200 in 2011, saying female reporters shouldn't be allowed in male locker rooms in 2013 out of 1.00

00:06:13.240 respect for the ladies, and delivering decades of, quote, big mouth bigotry against players from 1.00

00:06:21.480 other countries, as he saw it, Swedes, Finns, Russians, and Quebecers. Yes, Cherry's opinions

00:06:28.800 are as colorful as his flamboyant suits. But Cherry was a color commentator. He was in the

00:06:37.240 entertainment business, and he delivered big time. Coach's Corner was the most watched eight minutes

00:06:44.140 of Canadian TV every week when it aired. I wonder how many people read Bruce Arthur's columns.

00:06:51.840 Let's set the over-under number at 12, shall we? And because Arthur writes for the star,

00:06:58.220 he is contractually obliged to bring race into the equation stating that cherry was quote

00:07:05.860 only ever talking to white english-speaking canadians basically end quote really bruce

00:07:13.440 you really believe that then we get to the crux of the matter the assassination of don cherry

00:07:18.180 by the adherents of cancel culture arthur writes quote in the end cherry was fired for questioning

00:07:25.200 the patriotism of visible immigrants end quote you know that's very interesting why don't we

00:07:32.380 roll the tape of what would become the final episode of coach's corner from november of 2019

00:07:39.680 and i ask you dear viewers does cherry ever utter the phrase visible immigrants you know i was

00:07:49.120 talking to a veteran i said i'm not going to run the poppy thing anymore because what's the sense

00:07:53.280 I live in Mississauga.

00:07:54.440 Nobody wears, very few people wear a poppy.

00:07:58.700 Downtown Toronto, forget it, downtown Toronto.

00:08:00.900 Nobody wears a poppy.

00:08:02.340 And I'm not going to wait.

00:08:03.080 He says, wait a minute.

00:08:04.300 How about running it for the people that buy them?

00:08:07.140 Now, you go to the small cities and, you know, those, the rows on rows, you people love,

00:08:13.060 you, they come here, whatever it is, you love our way of life.

00:08:16.560 You love our milk and honey.

00:08:17.960 At least you can pay a couple of bucks for poppies or something like that.

00:08:21.960 These guys pay for your way of life that you enjoy in Canada.

00:08:26.380 These guys paid the biggest price.

00:08:29.440 Okay, so two things. 0.99

00:08:30.820 One, Bruce Arthur is a liar. 0.92

00:08:34.380 Cherry never said visible immigrants.

00:08:37.560 Secondly, everything Don Cherry in that 45 second clip is 100% true.

00:08:44.360 This is not conjecture.

00:08:46.320 The following Remembrance Day,

00:08:47.960 we visited the intersection of Yonge and Dundas Streets in downtown Toronto at 10 a.m.,

00:08:53.580 just 60 minutes prior to the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

00:08:59.800 And you want to know something?

00:09:01.660 Easily more than 95% of passers-by were not donning a poppy.

00:09:09.020 The lack of respect was disgraceful.

00:09:12.560 and what have we seen happen in our once great dominion since the cancellation of coach's corner

00:09:18.820 well we have seen migrants primarily international students and temporary foreign workers from india

00:09:25.740 staging demonstrations denouncing canada as a nation full of haters and racists they chant

00:09:33.840 no one is illegal on stolen land as these ingrates demand full canadian citizenship 1.00

00:09:40.740 And for two and a half years now, we have seen the Hamasals marching into predominantly Jewish neighborhoods, chanting genocide, displaying swastikas, and cosplaying as the terrorist sinwar. 0.89

00:09:55.520 I wonder if Bruce Arthur approves of these diversity is our strength vignettes.

00:10:01.960 and of course since Arthur is a woke star reporter which is to say someone who works for the star as

00:10:10.220 opposed to you know being a star well naturally he has to bring climate change into the argument

00:10:16.840 you see Arthur slams cherry for once stating that people who believed in global warming are

00:10:24.040 kookaloos you know I think kookaloo is a perfect descriptor how dare you in fairness the 0.79

00:10:31.860 only thing Arthur gets right about Don Cherry is found in his final sentence, quote, his legacy,

00:10:39.140 all of it lives on, end quote. That's true. When Don Cherry 92 eventually goes to the great

00:10:47.520 hereafter, his legacy will indeed live on forever. Don Cherry is immortal. As for Bruce Arthur,

00:10:57.180 he's not even a footnote to a footnote.

00:11:01.860 Hi, everybody, Ezra Levant here with my friend David Menzies and my colleague Scarlett Grace

00:11:11.420 is over there as well. The three of us are in downtown Toronto. We're actually standing

00:11:15.980 in the middle of what would be one of the busiest streets in the city, but it's completely locked

00:11:21.040 down. As you can see, hundreds of police, ambulances, SWAT teams, an enormous number

00:11:26.680 of people. And they're here because a terrorist group called the Al-Quds Day March, they're having

00:11:34.200 a non-permitted hate march. And one of the participants is called Sami Doon, which is a

00:11:43.420 strange name, but it's actually a banned terrorist group. Doug Ford rushed to court this morning in

00:11:49.360 a show. Oh, I don't stand for this. Why did your government wait until the very last minute to

00:11:54.940 on an injunction to stop a rally

00:11:57.200 that wasn't exactly a surprise was happening.

00:12:00.360 Well, again, I have zero tolerance for hate.

00:12:03.660 It's an annual thing that's been going on for eight years.

00:12:06.200 He absolutely stands for it.

00:12:08.000 The court hearing was a shambles.

00:12:10.160 David, you've been attending the Al-Quds rallies for years.

00:12:14.140 Tell me about what makes this one different and worse.

00:12:16.860 By the way, I should reference that that building there

00:12:19.700 is the US consulate that was hit by gunfire just last week.

00:12:23.880 And so the terrorists at Samidun and Al-Quds wanted to be here. 0.85

00:12:28.040 Doug Ford has been talking about this for eight years before he became premier,

00:12:32.060 saying, when I become premier, this nonsense is over.

00:12:35.540 It is a hate fest. 0.98

00:12:36.920 It is anti-Jew. 0.98

00:12:38.300 It is anti-Israel.

00:12:40.100 It is anti-Iranian for those wanting regime change.

00:12:44.400 And little wonder the Iranian regime is the funder of Hezbollah, Hamas, and so on. 0.51

00:12:50.260 Here's the other thing.

00:12:51.240 You mentioned University Avenue.

00:12:52.660 this is a major artery in Toronto.

00:12:55.820 Not only that, people are unfamiliar with Toronto.

00:12:58.940 This is hospital row.

00:13:00.740 There's sick kids, Mount Sinai, several others.

00:13:04.060 No ambulance can get through here.

00:13:06.460 This is a grotesque violation of public safety,

00:13:10.080 which I thought was paramount.

00:13:12.260 You know, it's funny because at this morning's hearing,

00:13:14.720 the judge said, why didn't you use

00:13:16.860 the Provincial Emergencies Act?

00:13:18.440 If you really think this is a problem,

00:13:20.700 he said to Doug Ford's lawyer,

00:13:22.660 Why don't you do that? You don't actually even need the court.

00:13:25.780 But let me say one more thing about this so-called Al-Quds Day. 0.95

00:13:30.220 It's not a real holiday. It's not even like Arbor Day.

00:13:35.320 It's an official Ayatollah, Islamic Republic of Iran, hate day. 0.82

00:13:42.040 Al-Quds is one of the ways that Jerusalem is referenced by Islam.

00:13:47.080 And the whole purpose of Al-Quds Day is to sharpen Iran's hatred for the little Satan, Israel, and the great Satan, America. 0.84

00:13:58.100 So the entire theme is it's not a real holiday.

00:14:01.700 It's a construct of the Iranian foreign policy designed to attack, harm, and hate the West. 0.99

00:14:11.560 to allow that and to have it supported by the Sammy Dune terrorist group

00:14:15.660 shows that Toronto has fallen.

00:14:17.640 Oh, here comes some thugs right now. 0.97

00:14:19.000 Look at these thugs.

00:14:20.620 Why are you disguising your identities? 0.83

00:14:25.680 Why are you covering your face? 1.00

00:14:27.220 Show your face, coward. 1.00

00:14:28.580 Why are you a coward? 1.00

00:14:29.760 Show your face, coward. 1.00

00:14:30.380 Show your face, coward. 1.00

00:14:32.060 Show your face, coward. 1.00

00:14:32.520 Benjamin Netanyahu compared to Hitler. 1.00

00:14:34.760 Isn't that amazing?

00:14:36.020 Probably a man who will go down in history,

00:14:38.520 Ezra as the greatest leader in Israel's history and that reprobate has a picture of Netanahu 1.00

00:14:46.700 next to Hitler. Listen, you're Jewish. How does that make you feel? Well, listen, that's Canada's 0.95

00:14:51.940 immigration policy for the last 10, maybe even 20 years has been to bring in maximum number of

00:14:58.000 third world anti-semites. By the way, here come the horse. Oh no, there must be an illicit barbecue

00:15:02.620 restaurant opening up you know and by the way Ezra I am joking but I covered just down the

00:15:08.120 street last week Adam Skelly's constitutional hearing do you know he still has an invoice 0.98

00:15:14.480 from the city for 187 thousand dollars for policing costs why is it the hum assholes and 0.94

00:15:21.900 the cost is now in the tens of millions of policing this you can see by the sheer number 0.95

00:15:27.700 of cups, why don't they get billed?

00:15:30.160 Well, because they're a favourite group.

00:15:31.940 By the way, the mayor of Toronto, Olivia Chow,

00:15:35.000 her campaign team is on an Iranian regime lobby group.

00:15:39.440 Look at these horses, outstanding animals

00:15:41.780 and quite deadly as well.

00:15:44.720 And they would certainly put to rest.

00:15:47.620 Any barbecue restaurant opening?

00:15:50.520 David, you know, it's funny because I think that because

00:15:54.820 because of Doug Ford's statements.

00:15:58.120 We need to speak honestly and openly

00:16:01.220 about the hatred that runs more rampant on our streets

00:16:05.260 with each passing day.

00:16:07.460 I don't recognize our country, the Canada we know and love,

00:16:12.380 a Canada embraces differences, a Canada

00:16:16.580 that celebrates diversity, that Canada is slipping away.

00:16:21.280 police are not going to let there be as many liberties this time certainly if there was any

00:16:29.520 violence i mean seriously the number of cops out numbers the protesters two to one

00:16:35.360 you're going to see vile anti-semitism of course but i don't think you're going to see violence

00:16:41.280 and i mean the u.s consulate frankly in a way i'm glad it's happening outside the consulate

00:16:48.320 because i want our american friends to realize that canada in 2026 is not the same as canada

00:16:54.560 2016 or 2006. it is a canada looking more and more like uh the the suburbs of france or malmo sweden

00:17:04.720 islamic terrorism violence and worse than that appeasement oriented politicians who can do the 0.99

00:17:14.240 math and realize that because of mass immigration they're betting on Radical Islam and to hell with 1.00

00:17:20.960 the Jews. Oh, well Ezra, right now the Liberal Security will say a quick hello. Thank you very 0.99

00:17:26.800 much for coming. I feel like we're pretty safe today. How are you? Nice to see you. Thank you

00:17:31.920 very much. We've got a great security team. Good stuff. Thanks for being here. Well, we've got

00:17:38.320 We've got three journalists, three videographers, and we've got, each of us has a security.

00:17:45.560 I think that because of the mass, the police will be okay.

00:17:49.440 But you never know, and better safe than sorry, we're always delighted to have the lads with us, keeping us safe and strong.

00:17:56.160 And you know, Ezra, as you've said, these security guards are fantastic, trained professionals, but they can't do anything against the police.

00:18:04.560 And, you know, when you were mentioning the IRGC, you remember two years ago when I asked Fraulein Freeland about why the IRGC at that time wasn't even a terror group, despite dozens of Canadians being killed on the Ukrainian airliner that the IRG shot down.

00:18:21.540 And remember what the RCMP did to me?

00:18:24.040 Ms. Freeland, how come the IRGC is not a terrorist group?

00:18:28.880 Why is your government supporting Islamo-Nationality? 0.97

00:18:31.700 This is outrageous.

00:18:49.380 They are actually going out of their way to protect terrorists.

00:18:53.200 And that's the thing.

00:18:54.660 Security are great and I love our security, but they stand down if it's police opposing

00:19:00.040 them.

00:19:00.320 Now, I think that we can see there's such a massive police presence, there won't be any violence.

00:19:07.080 But I do want to ask our viewers for help.

00:19:10.780 My view on security is like my view on insurance.

00:19:15.300 It's better to have it and not need it rather than to need it and not have it.

00:19:21.220 And so today we can now see that we probably don't need our security, but we didn't know that until we came down here.

00:19:29.140 And I would never want to expose our team, especially Scarlett Grace, who's one of the newest additions to our team.

00:19:36.020 I mean, you and I, maybe or maybe we can't handle ourselves, but these Al-Quds types would think nothing of hitting a girl. 1.00

00:19:44.760 So if you want to help us with our Journalist Defense Fund, do me a favor and go to journalistdefensefund.com.

00:19:52.200 I don't know what our security bill is going to be, but there's no way it's less than $2,000 for today.

00:19:57.980 I want to be clear. The Toronto Police Service take all reports of hate very seriously.

00:20:03.940 Our members will be present throughout the demonstration, and we will be actively monitoring for any incidents involving hate speech,

00:20:11.020 hate-motivated crimes, hateful signage, or the display of symbols associated with terrorist organizations as designated by the Government of Canada.

00:20:21.140 Any reported incident will be investigated, and it's important to remember that charges do not have to be immediate.

00:20:27.980 Evidence gathered during or after an event can lead to charges being laid hours, days, or even weeks later.

00:20:36.500 The police had a press conference where they said they're going to be looking for crimes to prosecute.

00:20:43.600 So maybe a few of the more rambunctious types thought this was one they would skip.

00:20:49.160 But we did see a little band of cowardly types go in there with their masks up. 0.97

00:20:54.680 I typically, that's right, I think they are cowards because many of them pretend to be loyal, normal Canadians by day. 0.97

00:21:03.380 They probably have a normal job. 0.91

00:21:05.540 So if their identity were revealed, they'd probably lose their job because most Canadians despise these terrorist supporters.

00:21:13.640 Oh, yeah, that lady came by and one of our security jumped right to it. 1.00

00:21:20.120 They're escorting her away.

00:21:24.680 Ma'am, was Ayatollah Khomeini a terrorist or a hero?

00:21:30.920 Was Ayatollah Khomeini a terrorist or a hero?

00:21:34.680 He did a lot for his people.

00:21:36.680 I couldn't hear you, sorry.

00:21:38.680 He did a lot for his people.

00:21:39.680 He was good for the people?

00:21:40.680 He did a lot for his people and he did a lot of basketball.

00:21:42.680 Enormous political presence.

00:21:44.680 What are they hitting David Menzies for?

00:21:47.680 What the hell was that?

00:21:49.680 Who hit you? 0.57

00:21:51.680 What was that?

00:21:53.680 I don't know. You guys got to go on this side.

00:21:55.680 You don't know. You're on this side.

00:21:57.680 What the hell? 0.98

00:21:58.680 I'm not allowed to speak to the Islamists? 0.99

00:22:00.680 Is that where we're at right now?

00:22:02.680 No, that's not what I'm talking about. You have to go on this side.

00:22:06.680 Go on the bikes, please.

00:22:08.680 Why did your colleague assault me right there?

00:22:10.680 Why did your colleague assault me, officer?

00:22:12.680 Behind?

00:22:14.680 Because the Islamists here are running the Toronto Police Service. 1.00

00:22:18.680 Move back! 0.99

00:22:19.680 Move back, David, right? David, move back.

00:22:21.680 We got it on camera. You can't just run into a journalist.

00:22:26.180 You guys should be with the RCMP. Unbelievable.

00:22:30.400 You know, I was half joking before when I said the real threat to Rebel News is often from the police rather than from the radicals.

00:22:39.620 And I didn't get a clear sight of what happened, but they almost knocked David over, and then they pushed him out of the way.

00:22:46.220 They wouldn't try that for one of the Hamas holes, but they'll do it to David Menzies who reports on it. 1.00

00:22:52.760 It's one of the reasons we're suing the Toronto Police Service.

00:22:56.280 Anyone who engages in criminal activity should expect correction to be held accountable.

00:23:02.220 Toronto is one of the most diverse cities in the world.

00:23:05.340 People here hold a wide range of views and beliefs.

00:23:09.040 Our shared responsibility is to ensure that our city remains safe, respectful, and welcoming for everyone.

00:23:17.820 Let me introduce a more recent hire at Rebel News, Scarlett Grace, who's been covering this protest beat from the freedom perspective for quite a while.

00:23:28.520 She's a perfect fit for Rebel News. Scarlett, great to see you in the field.

00:23:32.260 Yeah, it's good to be back for Elkud's Day, but this time with you guys in security.

00:23:36.520 Now, you're a Christian, you're Canadian,

00:23:39.660 but you have an affection for countries that are under attack by radical Islam.

00:23:46.280 I've seen you at rallies to free Iran, rallies in support of Israel.

00:23:51.600 Tell us a little bit about your motivations.

00:23:53.880 Why do you care about these things so passionately?

00:23:57.660 I think I care so much because so many people don't,

00:24:00.720 so I feel like I have to make up for that and give these people a voice

00:24:03.640 because they don't have it in the mainstream, so that's what we're here for.

00:24:05.940 And I know that you're treated as a heroine, like a real hero by the folks who need this support

00:24:13.240 because the media is absolutely atrocious towards both Israel and the freedom-oriented Iranians.

00:24:21.100 Tell me how you're treated by the bad guys, by the Al-Quds types, by the Sami Doun types. 1.00

00:24:27.140 What do they do? What do they say? Do they ever physically assault you?

00:24:30.540 Yeah, for the most part, I tune them out. It's kind of just like white noise to me.

00:24:34.480 I mean, they do the typical, the jeering, the leering, the name-calling.

00:24:38.080 They'll try and get to you maybe with some personal insults. 0.57

00:24:40.900 In protest settings, I've definitely been roughed up a couple times.

00:24:44.280 And at the end of 2023, they broke my finger.

00:24:47.200 I've had a huge bruise on me before.

00:24:49.000 But it's minor compared to, you know, what we're doing for them by giving them a voice.

00:25:04.480 Well, listen, it's great to have the team here.

00:25:15.100 We're going to split up.

00:25:15.940 We've each got a camera person.

00:25:17.140 We've each got a security detail.

00:25:18.980 David, welcome back.

00:25:20.320 Scarlett, great to see you.

00:25:21.760 And we'll have reports from the street.

00:25:24.060 Why?

00:25:25.180 Because you simply cannot trust the CBC to report accurately on this issue.

00:25:30.740 The CBC is so in bed with the Islamic Republic, it's shocking to me. 0.99

00:25:35.860 I don't understand it.

00:25:37.040 CBC! BBC!

00:25:39.760 Shame on you! Shame on you! 1.00

00:25:43.100 CBC! BBC! Shame on you! Shame on you!

00:25:48.320 Well, the police have cleared the street.

00:25:50.800 I think it's because there was some cross-pollination

00:25:53.820 between the terrorist side and the free Iran side.

00:25:57.120 That's what I'm calling the two sides.

00:25:58.460 I want to say a word about this U.S. consulate.

00:26:01.920 I've been inside a couple of embassies and consulates in my day.

00:26:05.820 They're very hardened.

00:26:08.460 They're bomb-proof, frankly.

00:26:11.320 It looks like windows there, and those probably are windows.

00:26:14.460 I'm sure they're bulletproof, but you can also see that all of them are blocked by screens.

00:26:20.100 There may be some very—it's a hardened building.

00:26:23.180 That said, it was literally shot at last week.

00:26:28.460 And I want to say something about this consul, which is obviously an old building.

00:26:33.220 You can see the American symbol there of the eagle.

00:26:40.520 When Donald Trump was elected for his second term, one of his early demands of our country was that we get serious about the border.

00:26:50.040 And he had two particular complaints.

00:26:52.500 Number one was drugs being smuggled across.

00:26:55.620 but number two was terrorism they've allowed both of them Canada very much so they've allowed

00:27:05.560 millions and millions of people to come into our country that shouldn't be here they could have 1.00

00:27:09.500 stopped them and they didn't and they've killed 300,000 people last year my opinion have been

00:27:17.460 have been destroyed by drugs by fentanyl the fentanyl coming through Canada is massive now

00:27:24.580 some people would argue most of the drugs were coming in from the southern border and i find

00:27:29.060 that believable although we know that a lot of chinese manufactured drugs come through canada

00:27:35.540 down into the states you can see the sentry box there and the great seal of the republic

00:27:43.460 Look, it is a fact that 80% of all suspected terrorists who are stopped before they can

00:27:56.500 come into the United States, 80% of them are on the Canadian border, not the Mexican border.

00:28:04.460 Mr. President, less than 1% of all fentanyl that comes into the U.S. is apprehended at

00:28:12.820 the Canadian border. So why use fentanyl as a reason? Because they should be apprehending much

00:28:18.020 more. They're only apprehending 1%. You're right about that. It's a little more than that. But they

00:28:23.460 should be apprehending much more because a lot comes through Canada. And as Mexico gets stronger 0.94

00:28:29.500 in terms of the border, it goes up to Canada. And a lot of drugs are coming in through Canada. We

00:28:34.740 can't have that in fact more than daily it is a daily occurrence the u.s customs stops a possible

00:28:44.900 or suspected jihadist and that's a shocking statistic that i think most canadians don't know

00:28:51.720 but even more shocking is if you stop and think about what that means

00:28:55.900 these people are in canada now they're trying to get into the states and they're turned back turn

00:29:02.780 back where? Into our country. They're not jailed. They're not deported. They're just 0.82

00:29:09.200 turned back either to try again to get into the United States or worse from a Canadian 0.99

00:29:14.740 point of view, they're in our streets. We know there are 700 agents of Iran operating

00:29:22.960 in Canada. If we know the precise number, we obviously know who they are. We obviously

00:29:28.240 know their names it's a political decision by canada to allow those 700 to continue to run around

00:29:35.440 how many of the 700 are here today in that way i'm glad that we're standing outside the consulate

00:29:43.920 because i want our american cousins to know the state of canada today within the last two weeks

00:29:51.840 there has been violence targeting three synagogues in the gta

00:29:55.040 as well as the attack on the United States consulate on Tuesday.

00:29:59.860 These incidents have heightened concerns and contributed to a greater sense of fear and unease in the city.

00:30:05.580 People are watching these developments closely

00:30:07.820 and that some are feeling concerned about how these tensions play out during Saturday's event.

00:30:12.120 I mentioned that last week the U.S. consulate was attacked by gunfire.

00:30:17.860 Thank God no one was injured.

00:30:20.120 But you can see there's all these flowers here.

00:30:22.440 I'd like to read to you that police think I'm a danger I'd like to read to

00:30:28.740 you from some of these flowers a gift to the brave American soldiers I think I'm

00:30:42.480 a threat I look menacing to you look menacing welcome to Toronto police they

00:30:51.000 I won't move an illegal march, but if I get too close to reading some of these flowers, they'll jump right in.

00:30:59.960 I won't mess with the flowers, but you can see there's probably 50 different bouquets that were brought here.

00:31:06.100 That shows you that not all Torontonians, not all Canadians support the terrorists.

00:31:15.520 I'm trying to find some messages, some cards on them.

00:31:21.000 I don't see any more.

00:31:22.880 They've probably been out in the rain and the snow.

00:31:26.680 But I think that's touching.

00:31:28.880 And I'm sure that the people who work here at the consulate are grateful for that.

00:31:34.360 You know, I travel to the States from time to time.

00:31:38.140 And whenever you cross into the U.S. border, you have a moment with the customs agent who asks you some questions.

00:31:45.440 And I sometimes chat if I'm early for my flight.

00:31:48.920 And every single U.S. customs agent I talk to is shocked by the anti-Americanism that they feel.

00:31:56.900 They can't believe it.

00:31:58.560 I mean, and they're not even particularly political.

00:32:00.620 They're just, you know, a bureaucrat or a civil servant, you could say, a kind of policeman.

00:32:06.080 If you ask, if you manage to talk to a customs agent, an American customs agent, and, for example, in Toronto and some other cities, they're located in our airports,

00:32:18.480 you go through U.S. Customs in Toronto, they are shocked by what they see in the community

00:32:24.080 because they live here in Toronto. They can't believe it. So I'm glad to see these. And look

00:32:30.900 at that, actually. You can see four faces of different U.S. military servicemen. I presume

00:32:42.020 those are some who died in the recent action in Iran.

00:32:47.300 And I just wanted to remark on these flowers.

00:32:49.080 I didn't see them as I walked by.

00:32:51.080 It's despicable that we've come to this point

00:32:54.200 that you can go after certain communities

00:32:57.360 and nothing happens. 1.00

00:32:59.460 You can say that you want to kill every single Jew in the world. 1.00

00:33:04.620 Nothing happens. They have signs. 1.00

00:33:06.640 I think it's absolutely inappropriate.

00:33:09.100 and we have 110 nationalities.

00:33:12.420 Everyone gets along, but this has to stop. 0.99

00:33:15.500 Looking at those horses' asses reminds me of Premier Doug Ford. 0.99

00:33:20.360 Ford just tweeted 13 minutes ago. 0.98

00:33:23.360 I want to read it to you to show you what kind of Premier Ontario has.

00:33:26.860 I'm not impressed.

00:33:27.560 He says,

00:33:28.000 I am extremely disappointed that the court has refused to put a stop to Al-Quds Day,

00:33:33.760 which has long been a venue for anti-Semitism, hatred, intimidation,

00:33:37.120 and the glorification of terrorism.

00:33:39.100 While the judge cited Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms, when we talk about rights,

00:33:43.100 we need to be clear that every person has the right to safety and security.

00:33:46.100 We need to be clear that no one in Canada has the right to incite violence or free license to intimidate and hate.

00:33:52.100 The judge also said the Toronto Police do not need an injunction to preserve the peace.

00:33:57.100 That's unbelievable! 1.00

00:33:59.100 Oh my God, we've got a moron as a Premier. 1.00

00:34:02.100 If that's the case, I fully expect that the police will immediately intervene. 1.00

00:34:06.100 at the first sign of hate violence or glorification of terrorist organizations

00:34:10.240 what a wicked liar for two and a half years he has presided over the police 0.74

00:34:15.080 doing nothing including his own Ontario provincial police and that was outraged 0.99

00:34:19.480 at this judge what a buffoon let me finish his statement I won't stop

00:34:24.040 working to put an end to the hatred and division that runs too rampant on Canada's 0.96

00:34:29.020 streets I won't stop working to protect the greatest province in the greatest 0.99

00:34:33.280 country in the world what a wicked liar i want to tell you why he's such a liar number one 0.94

00:34:38.160 he promised he would shut down this al kutz march eight years ago he has not number two if he was 0.98

00:34:43.840 serious about this lawsuit he wouldn't have waited till friday night to file the lawsuit for a rally

00:34:49.760 that was happening on saturday afternoon number three as the judge said in the hearing today

00:34:55.840 you don't need a court injunction police can use their existing powers including the opp by the

00:35:01.600 And if the police need more help, there's the Emergencies Act, which we know about because Doug Ford implemented the Provincial Emergencies Act to go after the truckers.

00:35:10.600 But most of all, Doug Ford did this whole thing as a media stunt.

00:35:16.600 In fact, I was a little bit embarrassed for the lawyers who had to try and get a case cobbled together in a few hours.

00:35:22.600 Doug Ford has not condemned the weekly hate marches in the Jewish community by

00:35:30.280 these Muslim extremists who literally walk house to house sometimes shouting 0.83

00:35:36.920 anti-semitic slurs at women and children in their homes. I've seen it with my own 0.98

00:35:41.920 eyes. Doug Ford has presided over the worst anti-semitic crime wave in

00:35:47.380 canadian history doug ford has it's the province that's responsible for laying charges and

00:35:54.960 prosecuting in our system the prosecutors are overwhelmingly hired by the provincial government

00:36:01.620 it is doug ford's attorney general who has decided not to prosecute it's doug ford's

00:36:07.780 solicitor general who actually happens to be jewish himself to allow a police policy to let 0.93

00:36:13.840 this run rampant these horses asses would make a more honest premier than Doug Ford if not it's 0.94

00:36:21.460 it's a Jewish community one day and next thing you know it'll be another community it'll be 0.99

00:36:26.960 another community it's unacceptable and it won't be tolerated hate of any kind I don't care if it's

00:36:33.220 against Catholics if it's against Muslims if it's against the Jewish community I'll come out fighting 1.00

00:36:40.300 to protect each and every single community.

00:36:43.080 You can see a picture of a man around 65 years old.

00:36:48.800 You see it says, make Iran great again.

00:36:52.660 That's Reza Pahlavi, the son of the deposed Shah of Iran,

00:36:58.580 the last liberal Western-oriented leader of Iran.

00:37:03.020 Now, he had his challenges, to be sure.

00:37:05.700 There was dissent, there was dissatisfaction.

00:37:08.540 And in fact, the Ayatollah seized power through a coalition of the disaffected, including

00:37:15.320 communists and secularists.

00:37:18.100 But once the Shah was deposed, the radical theocrats of the Ayatollahs took over.

00:37:26.120 Reza Pellavi, the son of the Shah, still lives.

00:37:30.480 And he's regarded as a link to the past, a legitimate heir, so to speak, to the leadership,

00:37:35.980 someone with a broad enough and long enough history of supporting Iran

00:37:40.780 that he could, for example, possibly be an interim leader of Iran

00:37:45.320 until there was some sort of election or selection process for a leader.

00:37:49.980 We don't yet know if Donald Trump's plan for regime change will come to pass.

00:37:56.560 I certainly hope it will.

00:37:58.140 It did in Venezuela shockingly easy.

00:38:00.940 I think it will in Cuba quite soon.

00:38:03.320 Iran is a much larger issue, more than 90 million people, a country geographically and

00:38:10.700 physically large.

00:38:12.760 For it to tumble just because of an air attack, it's a tall order.

00:38:18.580 But I suspect that Reza Pahlavi will have a role in its future.

00:38:23.140 Let's go and talk to some people.

00:38:25.280 You can see some signs that say, thank you, Trump.

00:38:28.260 And I think that's appropriate given that we're right outside the consulate that was

00:38:31.760 hit by gunfire just last week something that has never happened in an al-quds 0.99

00:38:51.380 rally the counter protesters here are singing the Canadian anthem as I said

00:38:57.620 before the Ayatollahs believe in the destruction 0.95

00:39:00.180 of the secular West.

00:39:01.880 This is a counterpoint to that.

00:39:10.820 Pardon me.

00:39:27.620 thank you i see some great friends here unlike cbc i'm not gonna leave this stage uh

00:39:42.340 police officer i'm here so unlike cbc unlike fake news we have a real news here big welcome to my

00:39:51.380 good friend brave the most the bravest journalist on canadian soil ezra lemon thank you thank you

00:40:10.980 that's a friendly shout out from our friend salman sima it's true that the cbc and ctv

00:40:17.780 either don't cover the pro-liberty side or if they do they downplay its size and strength

00:40:26.020 it's friendly it's nice to be recognized

00:40:31.860 and you can see that although the vast majority of iranians are muslim and the and the freedom

00:40:38.340 oriented iranians in canada are muslim they're not a radical islamist theocratic islam like we

00:40:46.020 see in Iran, and there's a comfort with Jews and with Israel, and even the gratitude that

00:40:52.460 Israel's Air Force is helping to rough up the regime.
